Congratulations to Maj Capers, Col Ripley and Maj Dockery (his actions are definitely worthy). Col Ripley has been an icon in the Marine Corps forver, Maj Capers achievement is also been lifted as an example to junior Marines (although from what I've read he was always considered a lion in the Recon/Force Recon community).
